Most of my favorite movies are either based on a true story, either the screening of a book. Trainspotting is in the second category. The movie features a group of young Scottish lads, fighting in one of life’s biggest traps: heroin. Some of them attempt to quit the habit, but it turns out to be difficult and with impact on the people close to them. I would recommend this movie for those who want to have a mouthful of some realities which most of us are ignorant towards. Anyway besides the movie I recommend the soundtrack and the book too.

Ray Robinson Charles was one of the greatest artists of the world and Jamie Foxx received an Oscar Award for his performing role in the biographic movie about him. The movie was released in the year the star died of cancer. He was 78 years old. The story of the blind piano singer will probably never die because of Taylor Hackford, the director who inserted the memories in a good motion picture. It’s about money, success, life, music and color. Recommended to old music lovers.
The plot of this movie is about a teacher and her first teaching experience. She gets a class with violent kids, kids that have the lowest grades; however she gets stubborn to teach them and to change them. The main actress is Hilary Swank. Before this movie, I never liked her, I thought she is too masculine but in this movie she impresses me with her delicacy and her determination. “Everybody is a hero. We are all ordinary people but every ordinary people can within their own ways turn on a small light in a dark room.”
I’m not a Will Smith fan. In fact I always thought of him as a stupid prince of Bel Air, but as time passes by he gets a better actor. In this movie he is a scientist who could not stop the spreading of a deadly virus. Along with his best friend Sam, a wolf dog, he tries to find a cure and save humanity. Few times I jumped off the couch because of some hideous characters so you could say that this movie is a thriller as much as it is a drama. Some of the scenes seem impossible to shoot and BTW the ending has an alternative.
The birth of Peter Pan and his magical world full of adventures. Straight of the bat you’ll notice somewhat of a different air then most Johnny Depp movies. He plays the role of a famous London play writer trying to rejuvenate his carrier. A beautiful widow and her children become his muse. They help him realize something that most of us have forgotten: the fact that a child’s spirit is always within. By the end of the movie he ends up writing one of his greatest successes. Great family movie filled with unexpected symbolism.
“Some dreams are worth fighting for” says the narrator in the trailer. And you’ll probably hope to see some really kick-ass scenes in a fighting movie. You’re wrong. The main character knows to fight but the director never thought of exploiting him. Terrence Howard is the agent of “Shawn MacArthur” the man who will lose only if he gets beaten. No, no karate-kid scenes in this “bad boys” movie. Still, I liked the soundtrack even dough some plays are 4 years old. Don’t watch the trailer ’cause you’ll see the whole movie.
